Boynton made 7 of 11 shots from the field, including 6 of 9 from 3-point range.

Florida (22-6, 10-3 Southeastern Conference) had 15 turnovers in the first 27 minutes, an error-filled start that had coach Billy Donovan seething and the Tigers (14-13, 4-9) leading.

The Gators eventually settled down and used a 26-4 run to turn a one-point deficit into a double-digit lead.

Florida's biggest concern after that was the health of forward Will Yeguete, who injured his left ankle with a little more than 10 minutes to play.

Adrian Forbes led Auburn with 11 points. He was the team's only player in double figures. Kenny Gabriel fell hard to the court twice, and Chris Denson was helped to the locker room with an apparent knee injury.
